73 - Risk Factors for Alzheimer's Disease Part 2: September 2020

In this episode, Naila goes through 13 papers that explore how benzodiazepine and anticholinergic drug use affect individuals with dementia, whether exposure to certain air pollutants increase the risk of AD, and how cognitive reserve - whether in the form of occupation, bilingualism or education - may protect against cognitive decline. Enjoy!
